I agree with Steve, its a whole other process with a learning curve, you're going to have to buckle down and read through the help docs and do some tuts. I'd say go on ahead and learn MR as it can do whatever the Maya Software renderer can do and more. Also, you're probably not going to find a lot of tuts outside of the help docs focusing on the Software renderer.
